11 Mini Cheesecake Recipes That Make it Easy To Eat the Whole Pan

I absolutely love cheesecake. It's rich, it's creamy, and it's super satisfying. But, there's something about mini cheesecakes that really stand out. Of course, they look adorable, but you can easily make so many different flavors, which gives you an excuse to try every single one.

Bite size mini cheesecakes are perfect for a bridal shower, holiday party, or any other special occasion and you'll love seeing your favorite cheesecake flavors in a smaller form. Grab your mini cheesecake pan or muffin tin and start mixing up some cheesecake.

1. Mini New York Cheesecake Recipe

New York style cheesecake is popular for so many reasons- it's denser than regular cheesecake, a little tangy, and smooth.

The graham cracker crumbs are mixed with melted butter and pressed into a mini muffin pan. The cheesecake batter is rich and made with cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla extract. Make sure to remove the cupcake liners before serving with fresh fruit.

2. Best Ever Mini Cheesecake

This mini cheesecake recipe is pretty similar to the one above, but it's not as dense as NY cheesecake. Beat cream cheese, sugar, large eggs, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer and pour the batter over the graham cracker crust. You can even try swapping out the graham crackers for vanilla wafers.

Fresh fruit works for the topping, but we recommend using cherry pie filling.

3. Cookies 'n Cream Mini Cheesecakes

I'm a little obsessed with cookies 'n cream desserts, so this mini cheesecake recipe is on my to-do list this week. The serving size is small and the recipe calls for low-fat cream cheese, so no need to worry about eating a few of these beauties!

7. Mini Turtle Cheesecakes

If you're a fan of turtle candiesand the flavors- caramel, melted chocolate, and pecans, you'll love it as toppings for these mini cheesecakes. Start by combining the graham crackers, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl and press the crust into a muffin tin.

Pour over the cream cheese mixture, bake, and top each one. You might have to whip up a double batch!

11. Orange Mini Cheesecakes

The combination of orange zest and whipped cream in this cheesecake recipe really makes you feel like you're a kid again cooling off with a creamsicle popsicle. Although, I do love the addition of Grand Marnier in this recipe.
